Every year the Conrad Punta del Este Resort and Casino presents a tiny little tennis tournament right before New Year's, always four players over two days, always a headliner with three in the supporting cast. This year the headliner is David Nalbandian, the Argentinean ranked third in the world as recently as March 2006 and recently back on his game with a vengeance: he defeated Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal twice each, and rather easily, while winning the last two Masters Series tournaments of 2007 and climbing to ninth in the world rankings. The supporting cast members are the Argentinean Mariano Zabaleta, the Ecuadoran Nicolas Lapentti, and the Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas. The matches are tomorrow and Saturday, December 28 and 29.
